You know sometimes I lie awake at night, filled with anticipation as well as excitement thinking of all the fun things that I'm gonna do after 29th Nov. So deprieved now haha.. And I'm so glad it's April already.. Most probably I'll go back to work at Ben n Jerry's and definitely going to hk with bro jeff and da sao! I was thinking of setting up a small booth to sell things haha.. Just for fun~ But for now, there's nothing much I can do except school stuff.. Really miss hanging out with the girls! Anyway, I found a new chill out place--the library next to my block! The building is new... The books look new... and it's not crowded. You know how irritating it can get when people talk loudly in the library? And when their hps ring with multifarious tones and melodies.. Ok they may sound nice but the library is certainly not a place to appreciate that.. Oh man.. Can't believe I'm saying all this.. HAHA.. Tell me what's wrong with me!

Ok that aside, I had this revelation recently. Let me use the analogy of balls.. You know balls, they range from a table-tennis ball to a basketball etc.. But a basketball can't say to a pingpong ball that it is better than the pp ball though they vary in size and strength and everything else. Well, superficially it may seem that the bball is better, however it completely loses its capability once you use it on a table tennis table. Each has their own game to play.
Likewise for people, I can't say that I'm better than you or vice versa cos we are all designed to 'play different games'. You play yours and I play mine.. You have strengths that I don't have and vice versa. So there's really no need to compare and always trying to be the 'better' one.. If you know what I mean..

I bring this up perhaps because in school, people are always trying to overclimb each other.. It's good in a way.. But the down side is when you start measuring your self-worth by your academic results.. Then it's not so good anymore.
